All Revit Families have built-in Parameters that allow us to add data to our Project and then leverage it during BIM Collaboration and in our documentation. The basic hard-wired Parameters will only get you so far though and if you want to add data to supplement the default information for a specific Project or to enhance your documentation, then Shared-Parameters are the only way to efficiently do this.

We’ll have a look at how to create Shared Parameters and then how to add them to Component Families. On top of that we’ll go through the process of adding Shared Parameters into your System Families such as Model objects, Detail elements and even Views.
